Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Chapter 12 Black Market
Lu Meng was stunned. He didn't expect to get a comment, so he had to bow and be polite: "Of course it's not as good as Mr. Tang."

This is also a fact. Even if there is no supervisor's support behind the black market, relying on Tang alone to guard it is enough for the supervisors to weigh the cost of forcibly shutting down the black market.

As for Lu Meng, even in terms of actual combat attributes, he has not yet reached 20, and he is not as good as Tang, a strong man who has developed his physical fitness, martial arts and actual combat abilities simultaneously.

"What's your name?"

"Back to Mr. Tang, 'Lu Beiyou'." The young man in front of him replied respectfully.

"One more thing to remind you: You still have to exercise well, and it's best to find a master, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the standard of a 'warrior'."

Mr. Tang is very satisfied with the attitude of "Lubei Tour".

After that no more words.

In his opinion, the fact that Lu Meng appeared so experienced at such a young age meant that he was just a scavenger with some talent. He had met countless such people.

Just mention a few words casually when you meet someone. If you can grow up, you will definitely never forget yourself.

Even if he died midway, it had nothing to do with him.

What matters is casting a wide net.

Judging from the strength displayed by this young man, fighting is all based on consciousness and experience. There is no structure and the lethality is worrying.

If Tang himself were to swing the sword, even with just the scabbard, Lao Lei's entire head would be shattered.

This is why he asked Lu Meng to find a master.

But it was obvious that he had no intention of recruiting a disciple. If this young man acted on his own initiative, he would probably be unhappy.

From the perspective of the famous "Iron Arm" Tang, it would be difficult for a scavenger to make up for such physical fitness.

The future of "Lubei Tour" is very limited.

"Then thank you Mr. Tang." Fortunately, Lu Beiyou was very smart and simply took the young boy into the black market.

The obsession with climbing up without grabbing a straw-like opportunity is a rare mentality among scavengers.

Tang's evaluation of "Lubei Tour" was a bit better.

……

"Why do I remember that Old Tangtou is not such a familiar person in the game?"

Lu Meng was busy looking for the reserved stall, and at the same time he was still a little confused.

Aren't those two "tips" from Tie Bang Tang common sense in "The Swordsman"?

In addition, when Old Tangtou asked him his name just now, he casually reported "Lubei Tour".

The name "Lu Meng" has already gained quite a reputation among scavengers and street traders. If it is used again in the black market, it will inevitably trigger associations and cause unnecessary trouble.

These days, there is no household registration system for the people. The name is just a code name. What matters is a random compilation and convention.

What's more, "Lu Beiyou" is the name designated by his system, so it is not a lie.

Thinking of this, Lu Meng couldn't help but look at the changes on the attribute panel again.

[Name: Lu Beiyou (Lu Meng)

Race: Human (Scorched Earth Sons)

Basic attributes: Toughness 7…

Actual combat level: 18 (not popular)

……

Permissions: D
Effective module: experience bonus (3 times)]

In the battle with Lao Lei just now, Lu Meng got hit hard by his opponent, and his toughness increased by 2 points.

[Toughness] The method to improve this attribute is also very simple and crude - just take a beating; the effect is also very direct: reduce damage according to level.

You must learn to be beaten before you hit someone.

In the final analysis, the battle is about who can survive to the last moment.

Therefore, Lu Meng doesn't mind practicing his ability to resist blows in a safe situation. This is also to ensure safety in possible life-and-death battles in the future.

Not to mention that the attributes are fully trained, even if the toughness is [-] or [-] points, Lao Lei can't even scratch his skin while standing.

However, Sha Lao Lei's sword only raised Lu Meng's actual combat level by one level.

This is normal.When Song Chai's body exploded, there was a big gap in actual combat levels between Lu Meng and him. Even if it was just a casual blow, he would gain a lot of experience.

Now Lu Meng's actual combat level is even higher than that of Lao Lei. Even if he causes fatal injuries, it can only be improved a little.

When his actual combat level continues to increase in the future, the experience gained from miscellaneous soldiers will continue to decrease.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Meng didn't take the opportunity to level up just now.

If there is no such restriction, and all killings can increase the actual combat level proficiency, then the strongest master in the world will be the executioner who specializes in killing people.

Lu Meng and the two found the temporary stall they rented, spread out a piece of linen cloth, and took out the animal meat and skins and laid them out.

As soon as the animal meat was taken out, many people gathered to watch.

After all, even on the black market, food is too scarce.

"There is actually meat..."

"It looks like a rat rabbit. Are the two little brothers here to set up the stall on behalf of Lao Zhang?"

"Zhang Ying hasn't been out of the stalls for a long time. It's just a good time to make up for my children."

While cleaning up, Lu Meng paid attention to the murmurs of the onlookers and felt enlightened.

The "Zhang Ying" they referred to was probably the old hunter they met that day while hunting. It seemed that hunting and selling meat on the black market were also his old trades.

"Everyone, we two brothers are new here. We don't understand the black market, and we don't know what the Orion you mentioned usually sells for?" Lu Meng put on a business smile and asked loudly.

Someone's eyes lit up: "In our area, rat and rabbit meat is usually 20 karat coins per pound."

"That's it."

"It's not Fangshi after all." Someone around him quickly agreed.

"Oh, that's right." Lu Meng kept smiling, "Then let's pay 50 coins per catty today.

"After all, I have to give face to the seniors. If I sell it cheaper than others, aren't I trying to steal business? I'm so sorry."

"Hahaha, that's right." The laughter in the crowd became a little sarcastic. "Brother is really good at being a good person."

But the people who gathered around did not disperse because Lu Meng raised the price, and they still lined up honestly.

Lu Meng laughed in his heart. He knew that 50 coins per pound was definitely within the expectations of everyone in the black market.The person before was just a newcomer who was introduced by me, and wanted to take advantage of him by lowering the price while he didn't understand the market.

You must know that buying it directly from merchants in the market will definitely cost more than this amount.

According to the market purchase price, a pound of rat and rabbit meat would only cost 10 to 15 yuan, and it must be fresh and pure meat.

The taste and nutritional value of simple air-dried dried meat (not bacon or jerky) is naturally not as good as that of fresh meat, but it also has less water content, is heavier, and is more expensive.

So Lu Meng didn't have to worry about selling these dozens of kilograms of rat and rabbit meat, and he could still make a profit.

And no one objected to the "I don't know the Orion you guys are talking about" that I just added to my words, which also confirmed that the "Zhang Ying" they mentioned was the Orion.

In the process of selling meat, the two have a clear division of labor. Huo Buyang is responsible for cutting the meat with the bone knife, and Lu Meng is responsible for collecting the money.

Although cutting meat can exercise his "cooking" skills, Huo Buyang cuts meat quickly and accurately; on the other hand, he has to rely on his level 11 perception and level 15 mastery to maintain order and occasionally catch one or two Xiao Xiao, whose little hands are dirty.

The residents who come to buy meat don't seem to be in a very good financial situation, and they usually only buy one or two kilograms per person.

There was a middle-aged man who struggled for a long time, gritted his teeth and bought five kilograms of meat at once, which made the onlookers envious.

Some people also anxiously asked everyone not to buy too much for fear of not being able to get their turn.

All sentient beings are in various states, roughly like this.

Lu Meng and the others never stopped collecting money and cutting meat.

In less than half an hour, all the 40 kilograms of meat brought were sold out.

More than 2000 coins were received.

The remaining rat and rabbit skins are not so popular. From time to time, one or two people come to inquire about the price. It takes a long time to sell them all.

The most critical moment has passed. Seeing this, Lu Meng also tricked Xiao Huo into guarding the stall alone.

He collected the money and went for a walk in the black market.

Lu Meng came to the black market this time. In addition to selling animal meat, he also wanted to buy some staple food in large quantities so that he could afford the energy consumption of exercising and improving his attributes.
